When it's decoration day in Heaven
There's a bouquet I'm longing to see
There's a flower somewhere in the bouquet
That means all the world to me

Now she left the old homeplace is lonely
Since mother has been called away
And I know I can never more see her
'TiI we meet on that decoration day.

I remember the night the angles called her
To live on that beautiful shore
It left us so lonely here without her
It can never be like home anymore.
